A cowboy from Texas goes off to college, but half way through the semester
A cowboy from Texas goes off to college, but half way through the
semester, he has foolishly squandered all his money. He calls home.

"Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern education is developing!
They actually have a program here in Dallas that will teach our
dog, Ol'Blue how to talk!"

"That's amazing," his Dad says. "How do I get Ol' Blue in that program?"

"Just send him down here with $1,000" the young cowboy says. "I'll get him
in the course." So, his father sends the dog and $1,000.

About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy
calls home.

"So how's Ol' Blue doing, son," his father asks.

"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't
believe this - they've had such good results they have started to
teach the animals how to read!"

"Read!" says his father, "No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?"

"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." The money promptly
arrives.

But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find
out the dog can neither talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog.

When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited.
"Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to see him read something and
talk!"

"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning,just
before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room,
kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he
usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still
messing'around with that little redhead who lives in town?' "

The father exclaimed, "I hope you shot that son of a bitch before he
talks to your Mother!"

"I sure did, Dad!"

"That's my boy!"

The kid went on to be the president of the United States.

5. Just so it's on the Humor group
I didn't mean to imply that it didn't belong here. I meant that it was funny and should be on the Humor group where it would be easy to find. :)
